Twenty-four more teachers have been appointed into the country\u2019s education system.<\/p>\n

Minister for Education Petter Saint Jean made the announcement during the World Teacher\u2019s Day ceremony held at the North East Comprehensive School on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to St Jean, in a week or two the government will announce another set of names that are currently being approved.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cMy ministry has submitted a list of 76 teachers who have been serving this country from a period of 5 or more years to the establishment personal department for their appointments. I have been reliably informed that 24 of these names have been approved, 52 are still pending,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said if teachers are to create a dent on the economic landscape of the country and to actively engage in the development of the Commonwealth of Dominica, teachers must be given a sense of security as far as their engagement is concerned.<\/p>\n

Saint Jean has been a former teacher for 24 years.<\/p>\n

Friday was World Teacher\u2019s Day under the theme: \u201cYoung Teachers. The Future of the Profession\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Twenty-four more teachers have been appointed into the country\u2019s education system.
